Thank you, Jesus, for the Easter story. Christ, This is it.  Today I want to start a relationship with You.  I turn from living for myself to you. I ask You to forgive me for the wrong things I've done. Thank You for forgiving me so I can start to feel closer to You.  I want You to show me how to live.  Please take over my life and guide me.  I have so much to learn, please teach me. Help me to live for you every moment of my life. Amen.
